Hello Everyone,

I recently got my PPR and have been living in Canada. I am doing my landing on the US-Canada border next week and i know as per the CIC website it currently take 35 days to mail out a PR card to new immigrants.

My dilemma is that i have to travel to India for urgent family matters first week of april 2013. I know the PR card will be mailed to my house address and i can have a friend or relative bring it over to me in India as i will be there for 2-3 months.Also i know i can apply for a temporary travel document to come back into canada for one time entry if for some reason i do not have my PR card with me while i am overseas.

So i guess my quesitons is... Is it wise to travel withouth the card and will i face any difficulty if lets say i dont get my card in time for me to get back into Canada?


any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
 
PR card usually takes approximately 45 days to 2 months to come. I would suggest you contact CIC for the procedure to obtain travel document, so you can be sure that there would not be any issue just in case your PR card is not yet with you.
